: I believe that ALL life is a constant test, with some stages in it being more difficult than others, and I also believe that even blessing is a test to see how we live in abundance.
I love you my LORD, receive my gratitude and worship GOD.

Marcela: Very real of what happens to us daily
: Very real of what happens to us dailyMarcela, your comment reflects a connection with the everyday reality we face. As the devotional mentions, life is full of trials and difficulties that can arise at any time. It is comforting to know that we are not alone in these challenges, and that we can find strength and comfort in faith in God. May this perspective inspire you to face each day with courage and confidence in His provision. May God be with you every step of the way!
Efigenia Vidal : Thank you Father, because you leave us alone in the midst of the afflictions we experience in the transit of earthly life. I believe that the greater the faith of the believer, the greater will be the moments of affliction, until reaching the deity of Jesus Christ, therefore asking God, giver of life through his Holy Spirit, for strength and resistance before the circumstances of life. Therefore, God demands in his word that we strive and be brave, as well as be prudent in walking and in making decisions, under his guidance. Important reflection on the central theme of Pastor Roberto Miranda's devotional. God bless you.

Luis Alfredo Ramírez Cano: The Lord is Our Provider. James 1:2-5 My brothers, consider it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. But let perseverance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing. And if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given him. This is important, to ask for Wisdom to face the test, as brother Enrique Meneses mentions "the blessing is a test to see how we live in abundance." Many times abundance separates us from the Lord. Trials are not moments of affliction, or what we take as affliction because the Lord takes us out of our comfort zone, because as the Word says in Romans 8 And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, that is, everything has a purpose and in God's Perfect Plan, everything is for our good. Philippians 4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

: On many occasions, if not most occasions, trials are allowed by the Lord to strengthen our dependence on Him. But as the Scriptures tell us in John 16:33, we must rest in Jesus, because He has overcome the world.

: Our strengths are precisely in the knowledge of the Word, it is there where our confidence lies, where the battles become evident, where there is no room for faltering. Our desire for combat is so great that we have been preparing for it without ceasing to be attached to His hands and His promises. It is when maturity confronts us and it is no longer a matter of tests, but rather of battle with the conviction that we will be victorious in His name for His glory. This is our testimony to those who doubt that through our struggles they can see Him in us as our King and Lord!
